A. A slave could be whipped for disobeying the master, but an indentured servant’s punishment was less severe.

B. The indentured servant could leave their masters at any time by agreeing to work elsewhere and pay a fine to the master; a slave could buy his freedom only with the master’s permission.

C. A master could work a slave almost to death; an indentured servant’s workday was limited to 10 hours.

D. The servant worked for a set number of years and received a set of clothes, tools, and 50 acres of land afterward; a slave received nothing.
